Damselflies

062810Damselflies

I took this when we were camping at Hartford Beach State Park with Mike & Sue and their 4 kids, who have grown up so much since we last saw them. This little swarm of damselflies was sprinkled on the grass by the lake's edge like little blue jewels. This one should definitely be embiggened.

I love their color. I would buy them if they were yarn.

So those are damselflies? Huh, I never knew. We called them darning needles when I was a kid. Thanks for the lesson!

There used to be lots of them along the creek by the house where I lived as a kid. So beautiful, such a brilliant blue.
